For a Memorable Mother's Day Brunch

Guests at The Hacienda Nicholas Bed & Breakfast Inn may want to eat light at the morning breakfast in order to take advantage of the Mother's Day Brunch offering at Santacafe. The patio of this restaurant is one of the nicest places to eat in all of Santa Fe, with large trees, planted flowers and the sweet chirping of the birds, surrounded by a historic territorial style adobe compound.

Not only is the setting superb for a late spring luncheon, the menu includes tantalizing treats for all tastes. We always get the basket of fresh-baked muffins and sweet breads to pass around the table as we peruse the menu. For starters I recommend the Flash-Fried Calamari with Lime Dipping Sauce that is absolutely heavenly or some tasty Spring Rolls (both $9.50).

Main courses include a savory Quiche with Gruyere Cheese with a small watercress salad ($12), Baby Spinach Salad with Seared Rare Tuna ($13), Ruby Trout with Sweet Corn Risotto ($15) and Mascarpone Stuffed French Toast and Fresh Fruit ($12). Check out their website to see more choices if none of these dishes whet your whistle.

They will be serving brunch on Mother's Day from 11am-3pm.
Best to call ahead to make reservations, as the place will be very popular on this particular day.
